The media has come out targeting buses this week. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning to police departments stating they have no credible facts pointing at a bus attack, but watch out anyway.

It’s okay though…we’re back. In the past we mainly focused on Fox News and their misleading information they provided to their viewers. Now we will be focusing on the media in general and how it is a keeping the 99% divided and confused.

https://fixingfixednews.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/2010-gop-agenda-pre-release-date-release-by-fnc/#commentsThu, 23 Sep 2010 00:35:10 +0000http://fixingfixednews.com/?p=785Today Fox News really let the cat out of the bag. They went ahead and released the whole Republican agenda titled “Pledge to America”, a day before the Republicans were going to have their big lumber yard meeting to release the agenda. The article outlines several things the GOP will be pledging to accomplish if they become the majority in the house after the general elections this fall.

Heres a snapshot of what the Republicans have to offer in Pledge To America:

– A plan to award small businesses a tax reduction of 20 percent of business income. This sounds good, but how will this create new jobs. Most small businesses have been operating with roughly the same amount of workers for years. Do they really need to to hire new ones (I think of the family owned convenience store down the road, its a small business, but has no plans for new workers even if their are tax breaks). I think they should slightly change that idea too giving new businesses some form of tax break, but what do I know.

— They plan on reining in the red tape. Red tape can lead to having to follow procedures that were put in place because other companies tried making shortcuts and in the process made a few boo-boos. After we effectively cut this tape BP can have as much fun as they want to in the Gulf without having to worry about stupid procedure biting them in the ass later. And how about all those nice eggs that were distributed across the country this summer making the public that ate them feel mmm mmm good. Cut the red tape and we can start to having more incidents like these (but probably better, more intense ones).

– To try and not package bills together anymore, and definitely not bundle military budget items.

– Put a permanent end to too big to fail (the only way to do that one is dismantle these giant corps that account for most of the countries GDP, like to see that one happen).

– Because 1 million employees in the security field is not enough, demand a hiring freeze on all non security Federal employees.

– Allow 72 hours for all bills which have to explain how they are Constitutional(who needs a judiciary branch when you have congress deciding whats Constitutional and whats not) to be read before being voted on.

– Renew the war on terror by pledging to keep terrorist suspects off U.S. soil(torture is not illegal if it’s not done on our soil, this is a great way to keep up our wholesome world wide image.

– This one that goes hand in hand with keeping the government out of your business. They want make the Hyde Amendment, a law that has to be renewed yearly and puts a ban on federal subsidies for abortion, permanent. See, they are thinking about the lower class. They won’t have to walk through all the hecklers at the abortion clinic anymore, they can go straight to their discrete back alley clinic which is a perfectly safe alternative.

– They obliviously also want to kill healthcare, and extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich and middle class.

After being labeled the party of no, with little or no suggestions about what to do after saying no, the Republican Party is reportedly on the verge of an idea. In a recent article on FoxNews.Com, the announcement of an upcoming formal agenda was released by the Republican Party. This event is to take place on September 23 in the best place to discuss cutting your healthcare, a lumber yard. The party plans on releasing this don’t get hurt and/or sick agenda at Tart Lumber Company in Sterling, VA.

The owner of the lumber yard, Craig Fritsche, told Fox he hopes the Republicans include an extension of the Bush Tax Cuts in their agenda. He states that when the tax cuts expire and the rates return to their normal numbers, it will still be a tax increase to him. This is coming from a man who is obviously deeply concerned with the deficits, and is in dire need of those tax cuts.

The Republican agenda will most likely include such items as annihilating healthcare, extending the Bush era cuts for the all classes, resurrecting Jesus, and occupying the entire Middle East. The announcement is supposed to differ from the 1994 social contract made with the public. This time around no one actually will sign a contract. The reason for no signatures, so no one who signed has to feel bad when nothing positive happens to the country.

Keep in mind, the very same day Republicans plan on announcing that one of their key positions is to kill the healthcare bill, key portions of the health care bill go into effect. The provision that would make it illegal for insurance companies to deny children with pre-existing conditions coverage would go into effect. The provision that would make it illegal for insurance companies to drop you if you got sick, would go into effect. The lifetime coverage cap would be lifted, and children up to the age of 26 who are living at home would be able to get coverage under their parents insurance plan.

https://fixingfixednews.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/one-quick-question/#respondMon, 20 Sep 2010 03:56:09 +0000http://fixingfixednews.com/?p=736Why is President Obama whispering in Representative Boehner’s ear in the middle of a hurricane?

A new breaking news headlines from Fox suggests that we as Americans should not give the leader of Iran, President Ahmadinejad, air time on our nations TV networks. The article, titled “ No Ahmadinejad on U.S. Airwaves” is an op-ed that discusses the interviews American journalist have done with the dictator over the past few years. The interviews discussed ranged from the “Larry King Live” show, to the most recent interview done with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchelle. The article then goes on to say “American networks should reply with a throaty “No” to any overtures from his handlers, and definitely not offer any “exclusive” interviews.”

Now I know what your gonna say, whats wrong with censoring a dictator from a third world country that happens to be an enemy of the United States? Well first off, you have to remember that we are not in Iran. We do not censor anyone, especially people we don’t like. Dissent from the other side is what made and makes this country flourish. Secondly, you are not only censoring the Iranian dictator, you are censoring our nations media. The media plays a huge roll in public policy today(it practically decides it for us). To start censoring what they can and cannot cover would more then likely be a bad idea.

These friendly people at Fox know how to play their audience like a fiddle. They find a subject which is very sensitive to their viewers, such as interviewing President Ahmadinejad. Then they put out a suggestion like keep him off US airwaves. This in turn gets their viewers little hampster wheels turning at record speeds, resulting in them thinking that it is a great idea to censor him. Then the same people go on claiming they are strict Constitutionalists, and that Democrats are destroying the Consitution, when in fact they just supported suppressing the First and most cherished Amendment.

https://fixingfixednews.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/fighting-fox-news-with-fox-news-mosque-funding/#respondThu, 09 Sep 2010 06:03:13 +0000http://fixingfixednews.com/?p=687In a recent article titled Fox News, Now Leading in Misleading News, we discussed how Fox had published an article that revealed a major funder of the Ground Zero (Not A) Mosque, Hisham Elzanaty, was a funder of terrorism. The Article alleged that Elzanaty was a major donor to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development charity in the 90’s. The charity, in 2001 was shut down by the federal government due to the discovery that it was using it’s donations to fund the terrorist group Hamas. The following clip is the Fox broadcast on the breaking news for its television viewers.

Now for the few small details that the television broadcast left out but the online article filled in. The organization which the reporter was calling a terrorist organization was, at the time Elzanaty donated, considered to be a reputable charity. The charity, which was the largest Islamic Charity in the U.S. at the time, was supposedly using its donations to fund humanitarian programs. Now I know what your going to say, the TV people at Fox said that it was a well know fact that the charity was supporting terrorist groups in the 90’s. The one small tid bit of information the nice people at Fox left out in their TV broadcast was that on top of millions of Americans donating to this charity, multinational corporations such as Microsoft and GE also donated to HLF. So lets put this into perspective, what makes more sense? Multinational corporations risking their corporate image to donate to a charity that was widely known to be a terrorist organization, or those multinational corporations, along with millions of Americans to include Mr. Elzanaty were fooled into giving money to what they thought was a charity.

Q. Why won’t they disclose where the funding is coming from?

A. If you were putting together a multi million dollar project and a news corporation was running a completely unfounded smear campaign against you and your project would you want to give the names of the people who were giving you the money to fund the project? If you were stupid enough to disclose that information to the media, you would run into scenarios like the one discussed in this article. A story being put together that is founded on nothing more than distorted facts and lies, which consist of personal attacks on your donors and discourages the next guy from donating to your cause. Sounds like a pretty good reason to not disclose that kind of information to the press. At the same time the media outlet knows that its a win, win scenario for them. If they disclose the donors, the media can run the kinds of stories they are currently running on the donors. If they refuse to disclose the donors, The media can run hype stories asking the question at the top of this paragraph over and over again, implying that the organization has something to hide.

In a recent article on FoxNews.Com, the news organization wrote a piece on the Dove World Outreach Center in Florida, which plans on burining the Koran on September 11th this year. Fox, which should be widely credited for giving the event its immense popularity across the country (SEE FOX NEWS ADVERTISED BOOK BURNING ARTICLE) is sure to be at the event, as this is a story that is sure to win the hearts and minds of Christians along the bible belt.

Upon rumors of the book burning, Afghan local nationals hit the streets in protest. These protests prompted General Petraeus, the commanding general of Afghanistan to make a statement denouncing the burning. Petraeus stated the event will put deployed troops and civilians at home in even more harm. Pastor Terry Jones wrote this off as fear mongering and stated that if violence resulted, it was in no way related to the book burning.

The same question that has been repeatedly ask to the Imam planning the non-mosque community center with a few levels dedicated to worship at near ground zero; who is your supporters, was was asked to Pastor Terry Jones. Jones replied with a if he doesn’t have to, why do I? Fox decided for one reason or another to not dive into the issue as it had done with the non-Mosque community center with a few levels dedicated to worship(uncovering a Christian extremist network is not as important as uncovering a peaceful Muslim community center).

The latest in Fox’s news vault is an article about the funding of the Ground Zero Mosque a.k.a Park 51(traditional mosque name). The article’s link which was titled “Report: Ground Zero Mosque Investor Contributed to Designated Terror Group” was conviently located right below a link titled “Authorities Say Fire at Tenn. Mosque Is Arson“. The cleaver positioning of the two articles almost implies that the arson was justified(which it was) by the funding of terror mosque.

Now if you are an avid visitor to the Fox News website, the title of the article says it all. Their is really no reason to go any further by clicking the link and doing any of that dreaded, painful reading. If for some reason you choose to read this article you should probably skip over anything in the fourth paragraph, except for the first sentence, along with paragraphs 5,7,8, and 9.

These paragraphs are really just fillers containing irrelevant facts about how the Mosque funder, Hisham Elzanaty, donated to a charity that at the time was a charity claiming to support humanitarian programs. The same charity was able to fool the general public into thinking it was a reputable charity, receiving donations from millions of other Americans and multinational corporations such as Microsoft. The charity was at one time suspected of aiding terrorist groups but their was no solid proof that the charity was anything but a charity until 2001 when Federal Authorities discovered the charity was in fact funding Hamas.

See, minor details that do not change the validity of the title whatsoever.
